Say I need a shark or panther or whatever. Usually, I find it's more cost effective to buy a random mixed lot of guys off ebay then search for them individually. Why buy a shark for $8, when I can get him in a lot of 7 for $18. Also, I very unexpectedly won an amazing auction last year of 77 beasts for $150 the very same day I won another more reasonable 17 for $45. I really only wanted to win one of these, but customs really became the silver lining.

For whatever reason, I really have the worst lipstick red and pure white paints and they require a real shellacking to have a non splotchy color, which then leads to repeated clunkier coats, which therefore leads to a blah paint job. Anyways, Seagull is a shaved down hawk head, an orangutan torso, jaguar legs, mouse arms, and colonel bird wings. The gun is actually from a Russian battle beasts weapon.

Dolphin is tapir body, rabbit arms with shark leg fins, and ..... MYSTERY HEAD. Any thoughts or guesses as to which beast the head is originally from??? Does anyone even read captions??? Macod0shus asked me to take some process pics so I can actually show how I made this and I will, once someone guesses correctly.

I feel like my poor camerawork isn't doing this guy justice, but he ended up being my favorite of this group. I really feel like he captured the design challenge. Seal is boar legs, pig torso, beaver arms, and a shaved down rabbit head. Once I saw a semblance or seal in the original rabbit, everything really started coming together.

And so that wraps up the Macod0shus run. A true thank you again to Macod0shus for the inspiration and optimusdrizzt supplying for some spares. This definitely pushed me outside my comfort realm, which is always nice. I considered trying the remaining designs for stag beetle, snail, jellyfish, and hammerhead, but I just couldn't wrap my head around any way I would build them and not ruin them concurrently. Coincidentally, I have a moray eel of my own that Ersico is about to paint up for me.

Hopefully Macod0shus can come up with some more designs in the future. Or maybe you, yes you reader, have marvelous wondrous concepts, ideas, and images dancing through that brain of yours. I'm already picking through old threads such as:

2. Thanks Koppenschevelle! Means a lot as I think you are one of the best customizers out there. Wait till you see what I have coming up soon. Ersico is doing some stunning work to really make some builds shine

Yes, I literally line up a picture to the head to see if it was possible/working. I had cut off the head gear (in one single piece that is actually quite awesome and will be used imminently on something else) and sanded out a basic rough shape, doing my best to preserve as much snout as possible.
